It's easier to discuss an actual draft (or potentially some data hanging off an actual draft but verifiably so) than some proposals in emails. >> IMHO it would be more of an error if we "corrected" the case >> of a previously registered tag; the whole point of keeping >> redundant tags in the Registry is to preserve them in a >> museum-like setting. > >The museum survives it if one yi-latn is fixed to yi-Latn. :-) [co-chair hat off] I agree with Frank here. Somebody had to be the first to come up with the idea of using XML idrefs for cross-checking, and unfortunately, it didn't happen before RFC 464x. And because case is officially and completely irrelevant, I don't see a point in the 'museum' preserving it. And for historians, http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-tags is still online at the moment, and our mails serve as another witness to that specific bit of language tag history.
